Hi Scopio,

To help you build a *.lib file, you should look at the plastocyanin
tutorial:

http://amber.scripps.edu/tutorial/plastocyanin/pcy-tutorial-sh-1.html#sh-1.1

This will get you started. We are in the process of updating this
tutorial and the new page should be up soon, however, this shows how to
make a *.lib (or as named in the tutorial for the modified HIS and MET
residues, *.in). One thing the current page doesn't state is that you
need to addAtomTypes for your "new" atoms (the new page states this). As
an example:

addAtomTypes {
  {"SM" "S" "sp3"}
}

needs to be included in your xleap commands to recognize the SM atom type
that was created for the modified MET residue (mem.in).

Hope this helps.

Rhonda
